Playtex Diaper Genie Elite #Review and #Giveaway #Canada

I have changed a LOT of diapers over the years. I'm confident in saying I've changed hundreds more than the average parent; Unless said average parent has also spent a number of years working in the Childcare industry. Or maybe a parent with just a ton of kids - but that's not so average these days, is it? I remember my daughter's first bum change. The nurse looked at me and said "well, I can see you've clearly done this before!" Experienced or not, diapers are gross.My kids are now 4 and 7 years old, but with a home daycare going on, I still deal with diaper changes every weekday, between the hours of 8am and 5pm. With 2 toddlers in the house, that still equates to quite a lot of mess. Usually, I throw any soiled diapers straight into the bin outside. The problem with this is that Winnipeg can be really, REALLY cold sometimes! I'm far less likely to tipsy-toe outside in the -30, even to dispose of something uber-stinky. I don't have any form of diaper pail in my house anymore. I tossed ours when we my son was done with diapers a couple of years ago. So on days like this, they end up tied in a plastic bag and thrown in my kitchen trash bin, until the end of the day. And that, my friends, is disgusting. As I'm sure you can imagine.

Hey ho,Diaper Genie Elite! I am so happy I've found you! This guy keeps the smell out, and what I love about it is how EASY it is to use. I like it so much more than the bin I had when my kids were tiny. Placing the diaper into the bin is as simple as using a trash can with a foot pedal. (MUCH more sanitary!) And while that is hugely important to me, what I really, really appreciate about the Diaper Genie Elite is the front tilt bin to remove the bag once it's full. With my old bin, there was like a 3-step bag removal process, which ALWAYS resulted in a disgusting smell being released into the room (and my gagging) and this big production trying to secure the lid back on, after I was finished. It was fiddly and time consuming - 2 things which are extremely irritating when you're busy with your small baby. Not so, with the Diaper Genie! You just pop the front panel open, grab the top of the bag and pull through the built in bag-cutter and you're on your way. Game changer!!!The Diaper Genie Elite has been a very welcome addition to my home daycare space. I adore it. I chose a pretty, light gray for my home but this particular Diaper Genie is available in Gray, White, Pink or Blue to compliment the colours of your little one's nursery!
